I wanted to share with you about my newest toy....

I got a present from my dear hubby....an awesome present that I've been dreaming about for the last six months :-) Yep, you see the photos already....It's an iMac computer. That I wanted it so much wasn't a secret for anybody, but I wish you could see my face when I got this big, no HUGE box .... my iMac, 27"... I didn't know it would be so BIG!

Well, I played the whole afternoon today and I must admit one thing....iMac was created for me...lol! Love it!

Hi there!
It`s after midnight here in the Netherlands and I finally have time for another blog post.
....and it`s all about the February Limited Edition kit at My Creative Scrapbook.
I was so excited to see Graphic 45 Collection "Once Upon a Springtime" in the kit. It grabbed my attention the moment I saw it for the first time on the net and I knew that paper is made for me ;-))))...I love cutting out the pattern paper and this paper is all I wanted....
I want to mention that I had a very~very~very short time this month for my DT work and I managed with both kits to make 8 layouts in total....
Here is the first one.....This recent photo of my daughter Leanne was perfect for what I wanted to create with this "window".

I used Tim Holtz` Distressing Ink for the background....

To make this "Frame" I simply used one of the many plastic templates I have for ages and I never use ;-)....Recently I took them out of the cupboard and I have BIG plans for them ;-)))....

My second layout.... Well, I admit I did a LOT of cutting here but I just couldn`t use the whole paper I had to cut it to pieces. On the photos you see my daughter Leanne again....

About the fishing net...I always collect all the nets that come with fruit, vegetables, etc. This fishing net is from oranges...lol. My mom used to tell me I`m crazy to collect nets from food (among the other stuff) but when she saw the result she began collecting them herself ;-))))

Originally the alphas were dark brown and I used Gesso to paint them in white and when they were dry I inked them....

And my last page.... it`s a very easy and quick one. On the photo: me & hubby....

The hanger you see is again from my "junk" collections...OK, don`t laugh but I always keep the hangers when I buy socks for my kids. I have all sizes of hangers.... this one was fitting perfectly the size of my frame....

I hope you enjoyed my last creations....

I think I`ll call it a night and get some sleep now...before I know the kids will be awake and another busy day will begin :-)

Hi there!
Yep, it`s 5th of the month and it`s a Reveal day at MyCreativeScrapbook. Today I`m posting my 4 layouts I created with the February Main Kit featuring Echo Park`s "Be Mine". This is the first time I`m working with Echo Park pattern papers and I must say I love them.
My first page was fun to make. I played mainly with the rub-ons...I placed them all over the page. The usual hand-stitching , glimmer mist and distressing......

I colored the rub-ons and the crystals with a Copic Marker....

I used bubblewrap to stamp on my background....

My second page .....Love that photo of Leanne opening her B-day present and looking so happily towards the camera....

My third page....again photos of my daughter singing so enthusiastically....oh, she is just like me ;-))) I love singing and playing the piano and I think she has ears for music,too :-)

All the music notes you see were hand-stitched by me....and I enjoyed it so much :-)

...and two close-ups......

I put some pieces of the rub-ons together and then I colored them in with a Copic Marker.

My last page from the kit....

Hope you enjoyed my post. I still have to share my Limited Edition work so stay tuned :-) I hope I`ll find some time to post the rest tonight.

Have a great weekend and......

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! I appreciate it so much!
